"While the Kailua vacation homes the Obamas have rented are indeed gorgeous, there are more than a few other gorgeous vacation options -- 22,000, to be precise -- each with their own unique views and perks."

"This pristine property -- known as Kaanapali Kahala in Maui -- is surrounded by serene koi ponds. The home itself wraps around a beautiful pool area, offering an outdoor lounge and entertainment area tucked away from the public's view.

The eight-bedroom home, known to realtors as the "Castle Villa," fronts the gorgeous Kaanapali Beach, and in the evening, the sunset pours into the open living room, which extends into the pool lounge," writes Carla Herrera of The Huffington Post.

Secondly, comes a home located in the exclusive Kapalua Resort's Kapalua Place. One of only 4 beachfront residences, Oneloa Place is definitely an example of luxury:

"At the ultra-luxurious Oneloa Beach Villa on Maui's northeastern tip, guests never have to leave. The estate boasts private waterfalls, three oceanfront spas, an impressive art collection, personal beach access to a private stretch of sand and a 60-foot long infinity pool that seems to pour into the ocean."
